Skin Tag Removal in NYC
What Are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are small, benign growths that can appear anywhere on the skin, most commonly on the neck, eyelids, groin, and underarms. While harmless, they can be bothersome or uncomfortable depending on their location. At Premier Dermatology & Aesthetics, Dr. Adam Nabatian removes skin tags quickly and comfortably with a precise, virtually painless procedure.
How Are Skin Tags Removed?
Skin tags can be removed quickly and safely in our office using methods such as snip excision, cryotherapy (freezing), or electrosurgery (cauterization). The technique is selected based on the size, location, and number of skin tags being treated. All procedures are performed by Dr. Adam Nabatian with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
What Causes a Skin Tag?
The exact cause of skin tags isn’t fully understood, but several factors are known to play a role in their development:
Friction
Skin rubbing against itself or clothing can irritate the area and lead to skin tag formation.
Insulin resistance
There is a noted association between insulin resistance and an increased likelihood of developing skin tags.
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes during pregnancy may trigger new skin tags.
Genetics
A family history of skin tags can make you more prone to them.
Aging
Skin tags become more common in middle‑aged and older adults.

Liquid nitrogen is applied to freeze the skin tag, which typically falls off within a few weeks.

After Care for Skin Tag Removal
